Benefits of technology

This solution ensures reliable and efficient dispensing across various aerosol can sizes, reduces power consumption, prevents unauthorized refills, and simplifies maintenance and programming, resulting in extended battery life and cost savings.

Problems solved by technology

However, the prior art does not overcome the technical problems as recognized and solved by the Applicant.
Importantly, the '916 patent does not disclose a dispenser that can accommodate a variety of can sizes, nor does it disclose an actuation mechanism that activates the valve with a linear stroke in the center of the valve.
Due to the storage of energy in the biasing spring attached to the actuating arm during the actuation period, an extremely low-peak load is required, allowing the dispenser to operate unattended by battery for weeks or months at a time.
Furthermore, this patent does not teach a device that can accommodate a variety of can heights.

Embodiment Construction

[0065]With reference to the Figures, an improved dispensing apparatus for holding and securing an aerosol can or the like and automatically activating the aerosol can to dispense a volume of the aerosol can contents is described. As shown in the FIGS. 2-5, the apparatus generally includes a can support and securing system 10 as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5 and a drive mechanism as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Collectively, the apparatus enables aerosol cans having different sizes to be effectively secured to a dispensing apparatus and thereafter allow the dispensing of the contents of the aerosol can with improved reliability and power consumption in comparison to past systems.

Can Support and Securing System

[0066]As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5 and 5A, a can support and securing system 10 (CSSS) is described. The CSSS includes a base 12, frame 14 and can top adaptor 16. As shown schematically in FIG. 3, the base 12 operatively supports a spring 12a and a can support 12b telescopically received in...

Abstract

A dispensing system adapted for repeated activation of an aerosol can is described. The dispensing system includes components that improve the ability to receive and secure aerosol cans of different sizes within the dispensing system as well as improving the reliability and energy efficiency of the system.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]A dispensing system adapted for repeated activation of an aerosol can is described. The dispensing system includes components that improve the ability to receive and secure aerosol cans of different sizes within the dispensing system as well as improving the reliability and energy efficiency of the dispensing system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Numerous products exist to provide the basic function of automatically activating an aerosol can. One such type of product is an air freshener that automatically dispenses or can be programmed to periodically dispense a small quantity of the contents of the aerosol can into a room.[0003]The majority of aerosol dispensing products or dispensing systems allow an aerosol can to be secured within the dispensing system and thereafter automatically activate the aerosol can such that a specific and small quantity of product can be dispensed per activation. In a typical air freshener type system, the dispenser system i...
